get your stuff?

Be there in a minute, Doc.

Through the door.

Right over there.

Right over there.

Sorry, Mac. You have

to move your stuff--

Doc says we gotta stash 'em

in here and lock 'em up.

- l have to talk to you.

- l'm tired of talking, Fuchs.

l just want to get up

to my shack and get drunk.

- Mac, it's important.

- What is it ?

- Outside.

- lt's 40 below outside.

ln the Thiokol.

Please, Mac.

We ought to just burn these things.

Can't burn the find

of the century.

That's gonna win somebody

the Nobel Prize.

You got the keys ?

Get 'em from Garry.

l want to get some stuff out of here.

There's something wrong

with Blair.

He's locked in his room

and won't answer the door.

''lt could have imitated a million

life-forms on a million planets.

lt could change into any one

of them at any time.

- Now it wants life-forms on Earth--''

- lt's gettin'cold,

- and l haven't slept in two days.

- Wait a minute, Mac.

''lt needs to be alone

and in close proximity with

the life-form to be absorbed.

- The chameleon strikes in the dark. ''

- ls Blair cracking up ?

Damn it, MacReady.

''There's still cellular activity

in these burned remains.

They're not dead yet. ''

Let's go, Bennings.

l gotta get some sleep.

Holy sh*t.

Go get the doc.

- l'll get Garry.

We'll meet in Blair's room.

- All right.

lt's Bennings !

Bennings was right there,

Mac ! l swear it had ahold of him !

- Windows, get back !

Keep away from him !

- Don't touch him !

Get back !

Stay back !

lt isn't Bennings !

- My God! What was happening to him ?

- lf it had time to finish,

it would have looked and sounded

and acted just like Bennings !

- l don't know what you're saying.

- That was one of those things,

trying to imitate him, Garry.

- Come on.

- MacReady, l've known Bennings

for ten years.

He's my friend.

We gotta burn

the rest of them.

All right, step back.

You sure that's

all of 'em ?

We cleaned out

the storehouse, the lab.

There is nothing left.

Where's Blair ?

l can't find Blair.

Where's everybody else ?

Windows is in the radio room

still trying to get through.

Everyone else is

in the rec room.

You go on.

l'll be in in a minute.

Blair ?

Blair ?

Don't come in here !

l got a gun ! l got an ax!

Don't, you son of a b*tch !

Don't come in here ! You understand me ?

- He's got a gun, Mac !

- Anybody interferes, l'll kill 'im !

Jesus !

He smashed up some

of the chopper pretty good.

Childs, go see

if he got to the tractor.

Nobody gets in

and out of here ! Nobody!

You guys think l'm crazy!

Well, that's fine !

Most of ya don't know

what's going on around here !

But l'm damn well sure

some of you do !
